I put J D C H grease in the steering box and U joint housing of my '35 fordor back in May of this year and have driven about 10,000 miles since then. This completely eliminated the leakage I was previously getting when using gear oils, plus the steering is now easier with the stock '35 steering box.
I prefer to use a ball bearing type pilot bearing with high temperature grease and seals on both sides. Some prefer the bronze bushing and profess they are flawless/infallible, but I have removed several that have worn egg shaped on the ID. I posted a report with pictures on this about two years ago that could probably be found by doing a search on "pilot bearing".
